Hibiki Amabuki!
If I see apple yeast or something like that, how can I not buy it....it's abduction with room to spare, this kind of thing!
The sweetness at the beginning is quite restrained.
Then comes the sourness with a hint of apple yeast, and finishes with a light bitterness.
The overall feeling is dry, but there is a strong sense of apple!
I think it would be better to drink it at a slightly higher temperature...
The sweetness, which had been suppressed, has also made a little appearance!
It has a Kyushu-like gusto to it.
It looks like it would go well with hot sake, but we served it at room temperature.
It's very strong but has no smell, so it's surprisingly easy to drink!
I can't wait to drink it again!
Koyume, my favorite
It has just the right amount of sweetness, but still has a ricey feel to it.
I had it with stir-fried miso hormone, and it was not bad at all!
Hiyoroshi Junmai is perfect for the autumn taste.
It has the umami of rice and the acidity that tightens the contour of the rice.
It should be paired with mushrooms.

This is the first Amabuki in a long time! I like it better than something from Sunflower, which I drank last time. It's fruity and a little bitter, with a hint of sourness? I wonder if it is?
12/20
From the label, “Kiyo is a religious ceremony in Kyushu to exterminate demons. This is an extremely spicy drink that will push the limits and even make demons run away.”
I agree. Had at room temperature. Dry is not the word.
